How to count the number of values that satisfy a condition in an R vector?
Sometimes we want to find the frequency of values that satisfy a certain condition. For example, if we have a vector say x that contains randomly selected integers starting from 1 and ends at 100, in this case we might want to find how many values are exactly equal to 10. This can be done by using which and length function.
Example1
> x1<-rpois(10,5) > x1
Output
[1] 5 7 3 3 2 7 3 7 6 3
Example
> length(which(x1==5)) [1] 1 > length(which(x1==7)) [1] 3 > length(which(x1==3)) [1] 4
Example2
> x2<-sample(0:9,300,replace=TRUE) > x2
Output
[1] 4 1 5 5 5 3 8 9 8 4 8 1 6 3 6 1 0 0 9 4 5 4 5 1 2 3 3 3 4 9 1 4 7 0 7 7 8 [38] 3 5 8 0 3 6 5 0 7 9 8 2 7 3 9 6 5 2 7 6 4 6 3 3 7 7 2 2 6 0 0 1 5 1 2 9 8 [75] 9 9 3 9 0 9 5 7 9 1 0 4 7 2 7 9 9 5 8 9 2 8 1 3 3 8 4 8 5 5 2 4 5 8 0 8 4 [112] 4 5 2 4 5 9 8 5 5 9 4 4 6 6 9 2 5 2 9 0 3 8 7 5 8 1 3 1 0 2 6 8 5 6 1 0 2 [149] 6 3 6 2 4 2 9 2 7 8 3 8 4 7 3 1 9 3 2 0 7 0 3 8 9 7 1 2 3 5 8 9 0 4 6 9 8 [186] 6 7 5 6 3 5 3 4 3 7 6 8 0 1 1 7 8 7 4 1 2 3 9 7 5 0 0 6 3 5 8 1 2 1 6 5 2 [223] 1 0 5 0 8 3 9 2 6 5 2 6 3 7 7 1 4 3 7 6 1 2 3 4 7 2 5 5 5 8 4 2 0 9 1 7 1 [260] 2 1 9 8 2 9 1 5 2 0 5 0 0 1 2 1 7 6 3 8 4 1 9 8 0 9 2 1 6 7 5 1 2 7 2 9 5 [297] 6 8 7 1
